Finally back home after about nine days away. Diane’s been has been gone for more than 2 weeks. Hunter picked us up at the airport… So nice to see him and the dogs. He had ‘Kyle take such great care of the house and Doggies. We really appreciate it.

This morning was nice and slow. Max and Becky came and picked us up at 10 o’clock and drove us the hour drive into Albuquerque. It’s been a really good Visit… We help them get a lot done… And also had some fun. Man I love visiting Santa Fe. Aside from seeing Max and Becky…The weather and the food are absolutely amazing ! … The drive to the airport was nice. We got a picture of ourselves in the shiny back of a fuel truck

We got to the airport in enough time that we could grab a bite. I had just bitten into my burrito when a guy came up to me and asked me if I was me…… It was Brian Jamieson And his wife. Brian was my next-door neighbor from 1966 through 1981 in Houston.

He recognized me which is amazing because he looks just like he used to… For some reason I don’t think I do :-)

Our backyards but it up to each other. He was one of my heroes back in the day… He was two years older than I was And he always included me and and all the stuff he did at school. I remember in elementary school he was kind of big man on campus. We had a great time Catching up about the secret club we had created when we were about seven or eight years old (“oomph”… And the resurrection which was called “the secret light of oomph”) We also talked about his brothers…His younger brother Bruce is still good friends with Billy… He and his wife came up and visited us here in Vermont. His older brother Jay and I hadn’t talked in a very long time but I spoke with him a few years ago when sadly his daughter suddenly passed away.

It was so nice catching up

Nite all, nite sam
